INTRODUCTION

Your new cooker is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is
only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the
installation instructions detailed in this booklet.

To help make best use of your cooking equipment,
please read this booklet carefully.

The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not
be accepted for use in any other installation.

Note: When the cooker is first used, an odour may be emitted - this will cease
after a short period of use

To help remove the 'new' smell, heat up the empty ovens to maximum temperature
for a minimum of two to three hours keeping the oven doors closed. Ensure that
the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that
persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that
any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased.

This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and also
any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:

(a) Has been used solely in accordance with the Users Instruction Book.
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on

the rating plate attached to this equipment.

(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or

repaired by any person other than the authorised employee or agent.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

When used properly, your appliance is completely safe but as with any
electrical product there are certain precautions that must be observed.

PLEASE READ THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING YOUR
APPLIANCE.

ALWAYS

Always make sure you remove all packaging and literature from inside the

●

oven and grill compartments before switching on for the first time.
Always make sure you understand the controls prior to using the appliance.

●

Always keep children away from the appliance when in use as the surfaces

●

will get extremely hot during and after cooking.
Always make sure all controls are turned off when you have finished cooking

●

and when not in use.
Always stand back when opening an oven door to allow any build up of steam

●

or heat to disperse.
Always use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the

●

oven/grill.
Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the controls.

●

Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall switch before cleaning and

●

allow the appliance to cool.
Always make sure the shelves are in the correct position before switching on

●

the oven.
Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when the appliance is not in use.

●

Always take care when removing utensils from the top oven when the main

●

oven is in use as the contents may be hot.
Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of grease or fat from cooking

●

can cause a fire.
Always follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent

●

the possibility of bacterial growth.
Always keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.

●

Always refer servicing to a qualified appliance service engineer.

●

SAFETY ADVICE

IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:

1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.

2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother
the flames and extinguish the fire.

3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.

NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the
extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish oil or
fat fires.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION

Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens
can be used.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Top Oven and Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the
timer control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only
during the same automatic cooking programme.

NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically
because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause bacterial
growth in food.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so
the food is ready when you require it.

3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.

4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as
possible.

5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto
cooking, keep the delay start time to a minimum.

6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could
cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.

7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay
period.

8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial
growth in food.

9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so
it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

10. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in
water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.

11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

12. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss
of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.

14. Only reheat food once.

USING THE TOP OVEN AS A
CONVECTION OVEN

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is
designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is
combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To
ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are
positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above. As a
guide, the front of the utensil should be approx. 100mm (4”) from the front of the
shelf.

Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to
increase or decrease cooking times.

USING THE MAIN OVEN AS A FAN OVEN

C

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For
guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see “Oven
Temperature Charts” later in book.

Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may
be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be
necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN

Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities
of food. (N. B. Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).

Food or utensils should nev

DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in
use as the surfaces get extremely hot.

MAIN OVEN UTENSILS

Do Not Use: Meat Pans larger than – 375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)

Baking Trays larger than – 325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)

TEMPERATURE & TIME

When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be neces­sary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes,
to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger
mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.

DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a
refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing
2-3 hours per lb.).
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.

However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non­heating fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.

OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:

Place food in the oven and close the oven door.

Turn the Main Oven Temperature and Function Control (C) clockwise to the
(Fan Only Setting) position.

This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on
type and size of the food.

NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.

Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream
cakes, butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches,
pastries, biscuits, bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.

26

If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where
possible it is recommended that the food should be small & thin.

The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is
exposed to the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even
defrosting.

Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up
to a maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).

It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately
after defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after
defrosting.

It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and
hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

“SLOW” SETTING

90

This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short
periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be
damaged in a hot oven.

DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the
oven lining and the plates which are being warmed.

ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:

The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
The kitchen stays cooler.

OPERATION:

1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.

2. Select (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature &

STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:

1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container

2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.

3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.

4. Only re-heat food once.

POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING

1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room

2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however,

3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).

4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170

5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking

6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend

7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.

8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the

1. Never allow foil to touch sides of oven. 2. Never cover interior with foil. 3. Never cover shelves with foil.

The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into

the thickest part of a joint of meat, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat

thermometer will indicate when the required internal temperature has been reached.

CARE AND CLEANING

Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is
switched off and the appliance is fully cold.

1. “CREDACLEAN” OVEN LINERS

(a) How "Credaclean" works.

TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS

MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS

AND REAR PANEL

The surfaces of the "Credaclean" oven liners are treated
with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking
soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the
special surface enables these soils to be slowly
destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.

(b) Cleaning.

In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C
(425°F) will permit this cleaning operation to proceed
during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures
are not used regularly, it may be necessary, in order to
prevent heavy soiling, to run the ovens without shelves or
meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the
"Credaclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.

DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives
or chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could
damage the “Credaclean” oven liners.

(b) Grill Pan, Meat Pans & Oven Shelves.

To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan,
food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately
after use in hot soapy water.
Use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad to remove
stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan, meat pan
and the base of the oven.

DO NOT use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could
adversely affect the fan motor unit, and cannot be wiped
off the fan blade.

(c) Removable Grill Roof Panel (not all models).

Pull grill roof panel out slowly, being careful not to
damage the elements. Clean using a damp soapy cloth, if
stubborn stains remain gently clean with a well soaped
fine steel wool soap pad

and soapy water, and then wipe

over with a damp cloth.

3. OVEN DOORS

CONTROL PANEL

(a) Control Panel

Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with
a clean, dry cloth.

(b) Trims

It is advisable to clean the trims regularly to prevent any
build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance
of the cooker. The recommended method of cleaning is
to wipe over the trims with a clean, soft cloth wrung out
in hot water, or mild non abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try

INSTALLATION

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a competent
person such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for
Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be installed in
accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The installer must check that the voltage shown at the rating plate corresponds
with the house electricity supply.
The oven must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a
contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible
position adjacent to the unit.
If the oven is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind the
oven providing the following requirements are met:
i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25mm.
ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 350mm above the base of the
oven recess.

Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the oven. Pass the cable through the
cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided.
Allow sufficient cable so that the oven can be set down on the floor whilst still
connected.
Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the terminal cover.
Make main connections.
This appliance conforms to B.S. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and
Television reception interference.
Where a double oven is used, a 20 amp Double Pole control switch should be used
to feed the unit using a suitable rated cable.
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to an oven, a 45 amp Double Pole control switch
should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cables.
We recommend a minimum of 4mm
conforming to B.S. 6004 for connection of each appliance.

PVC insulated twin and earth cable

This appliance must not be installed over any other appliance that generates heat.

Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not supplied
with this product. The installer will fit the correct type and length of cable

35

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT

It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated i.e.
having side, back, and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which
could permit access to the oven unit when installed.

1. GENERAL

The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing which
must be secured to the backing wall.

2. VENTILATION

a. The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with fig. 4.
b. An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or

bottom cupboards or shelves (see fig. 1).

c. It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation, i.e.

from adjacent cabinetry. This can be done by either raising the base of the
cabinets using the adjusting feet (or spacers) or alternatively by providing a
slot in the cabinet plinth to the dimensions in fig. 1.

d. The air gap at rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet

space. Where it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit to ceiling
height, it is essential that the warmed air is exhausted through the front of the
cabinet (see fig. 1).

e. If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from the

oven when the door is opened could condense on and maybe stain the
adjacent surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface should
be made of a material that is heat resisting and easy to clean. Adjacent tall
cabinets should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.

3. FINAL INSTALLATION

a. Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side

and from front to back in its installed position.

b. Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.

Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.

c. Before the oven is fitted, the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing

wall for stability.

d. The oven unit should now be lifted (this is a two person lift) into the cabinet

and pushed fully home.

e. Finally, the oven is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Pozi Wash Head

screws - two through each side trim.

f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.
